Adderall is a stimulant drug that is made from a mixture of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. In many places in the world, it is used by people with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and narcolepsy to help with their symptoms. Adderall does this by resolving imbalances or deficits of important brain chemicals, making it hard to focus or stay awake when needed.

Taking Adderall for ADHD can help calm the mental chaos so you can control your impulses and stay on task. If you have narcolepsy, Adderall can keep you alert and awake during the day and stop you from falling asleep at the wrong time.
